Sunflowers, Granola and Rabbits!

These are my awesome and totally not too healthy granola bars. They are flavored with honey, walnuts and homemade jam and some organic dark chocolate chips as well as a little almond butter. They're super good and at least I can pronounce the ingredients! The secret with homemade granola bars is that they're only good if you over flavor them. Just the basics and they're really not edible or worth making.

I just think this is beautiful. I harvested my sunflower thank you gift and I shook out a few seeds for my lunch today. The rest of the head is drying out so the rest of the seeds can catch up.


Funny (looking) Bunny!! This little guy is to be tucked away into one of the pockets in the cabled cardigan I finished yesterday. I might make a few more as I was shocked how small these guys really are. This is a free pattern from the Little Cotton Rabbits blog/site I wrote about. There are also patterns for bears and tiny 'iced buns'. I totally need to work on the ears. Justin wants an elephant and I think I can knit a trunk in i-cord like the legs. I'll experiment this weekend.

Good Food and Summer Crops!

So I know it doesn't seem like much- but it is! Daily I've been able to pick one tomato or one squash. Yesterday it was one tomato and one little broccoli head. However today of all days I got three tomatoes, a zucchini and a yellow squash!! Hooray!
Last nights homemade pizza- this one was great (sometimes I make the crust too thick). I love my pizza stone!!

Garden






I took some pictures of my garden because the corn is coming in and it's miraculous. I'm telling you- Victory Seed Company is the way to go. The dwarf corn is so cute. The tallest plant I have is about 18" and they are all producing ears of corn. The rest isn't too impressive, but this is my hands-off gardening in action via tomatoes, potatoes and hydrangeas with a pH! There is a lot left out, I'll post more as the summer progresses.
